hello im new and i need help! (padlock icon question)
 

hello everyone, im anthony from scotland. i downloaded Lime Wire today, and i need some help.

I dont know if i should download the things that have the stars next to them, or if i should only download the things with the padlock in the quality bar.

is it ok to download the things with the stars in the quality column? or should i only download the things with the padlock in the quality column?

any help appreciated!

The padlocks only apply to Limewire updates. Don't download any LW updates unless they have a padlock next to them.

Cheers :)

so it is ok to download the things with te stars next to them? this wont give me viruses?

Anyone know?

and also what does the # sign mean?

Its a good idea to scan all files downloaded from lime wire. None of them are guaranteed to be virus free. the # symbol indicates the number of connected users sharing the file.

how do i scan them?

With your virus scanning software. If you don't have one, you should get one asap. Here's one called AVG. It's free, but, has limited features. AVG Free Advisor: Installation files & documentation

I have McAfee security centre, is this good?

Yes McAfee works great. Have a look around at some of the other forums. I've found tons of useful info here since I joined.:idea:
